Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Wednesday 17 May

FERNANDO ALONSO, McLaren Honda Andretti driver

Day: 3 

Top speed: 219.553mph 

Laps: 39 

"It was tricky, so very little running for the big guys. But for me any condition is a good lesson. Today was about that, a lesson about how to drive with strong winds and how to set up the car corner to corner.

"Everything was according to plan. The team, I think, used those runs also to test something on the back (end), the engine, for tuning, and something like that, so I think it was a productive day as well."
